About Us

LANGUAGE:

VisionFund Honduras OPDF is a leading microfinance institution established as a subsidiary of VisionFund
International, a global microfinance institution operating in Africa, Asia,
Latin America and the Middle East/Eastern Europe. VisionFund International is a
wholly owned subsidiary of World Vision International, a Christian relief
development and advocacy organization. Working together, we provide the
foundations for local economies to flourish in healthy and safe communities.

We provide financial services to people
who would otherwise have little or no access to credit. The well-being of
children, families and communities in Honduras
is our main focus. We serve the country’s poorest people by
helping them start or grow their own businesses through loans of just a few
hundred dollars.

VisionFund
Honduras OPDF has been supporting clients since 1995. We serve the micro and small
enterprise sector, providing appropriate financing to thousands of
Hondurans. Their economic position has deprived them of
financial services provided by the traditional banking system.

For over two decades we have been helping the poor, who are able to start their own business. Our financial services complement the objectives of World Vision to reach those living in poverty. These combined interventions help improve their lives, the future of their children and the communities where they live.

VisionFund Honduras OPDF currently serves 12,476 customers through its 14 agencies that generate 110 direct jobs and 21,000 indirect jobs for 56% of our clients are women. Part of the success is thanks to the loyalty of our customers and strategic alliance that stays with PDAs World Vision Honduras, providing loans to microentrepreneurs and offer them an opportunity to improve the quality of life of their families and communities.

Our portfolio is over $ 10.5 million resulting in 12,476 customers and 24,952 children impacted.
